Benefits of technology

The present patent discloses a method for inhibiting infection during wound healing by using a single composition containing one or more of the following amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, valine, alanine, arginine, glutamine, glycine, proline, and serine, which when applied to a wound for a period of time, can initiate wound healing. The composition should have an osmolarity of at least 120 mmol / liter when mixed in water or an aqueous exudate in and around a wound site. The technical effect of this method is to provide a simple and effective way for preventing infection during wound healing.

Problems solved by technology

Bacterial infection of a wound is a major impediment to wound healing.
Wound healing is slowed by poor perfusion of nutrients to the wound site, where they are needed for wound repair.

Abstract

A method that inhibits infection during wound healing by topical application of a single composition, which contacts a wound for a period of time to initiate wound healing. The single composition may include a mixture of all or some of the amino acids including: histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate; isoleucine; leucine; lysine acetate; methionine; phenylalanine; threonine; tryptophan; valine; alanine; arginine acetate; aspartic acid; glutamine; glycine; proline; serine; and tyrosine, which may provide aqueous mixtures of a range of osmolarities or a powdered mixture of amino acids. The single composition may also include any of a carbohydrate, a mixture of fatty acids, vitamins, and mineral nutrients, and another mixture of amino acid derivatives and preservatives. The number of moles of the carbohydrate is less than and proportional to a sum of the number of moles of any mixture of amino acids in the single composition.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present disclosure relates to methods that inhibit infection during wound healing by topical application of a single composition that contacts a wound for a period of time sufficient to initiate wound healing. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to the topical application of a single composition comprising an aqueous mixture of one or more amino acids that is applied to a wound site. The present disclosure also specifically relates to a topical application of a single composition comprising one or more powdered amino acids that forms a mixture with the exudate of a wound.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Wound healing is a complex metabolic process whereby the skin, or another organ-tissue, repairs itself after injury resulting from any of burns, mechanical trauma, surgery, pressure ulcers, and diabetic lesions. Classically, wound healing has been divided into four overlapping phases: hemostasis, inflammation, cellul...
